Yes I heard about the bank thing. But I was told it takes at least 2 weeks to process the BTA thing from the bank. Sadly I couldn't do that cos I had to travel within 24 hours of getting my Visa samuelUMOH: |

Well I don't believe they did. It was clearly displayed on their electronic board. If you do get to change to rand at a much lesser price please let me know so my friends coming soon can use the place you used. Thanks samuelUMOH: |

31st of August you mean? It takes 6-10 working days to process the visa ( that's what they told me when I called the embassy 2 weeks ago) So it isn't 10 working days yet. Plus the 2 days for Sallah public holiday WILL elongate the working days too. If by Thursday /Friday you don't get anything you should call the embassy. Also try to track your application on the VFS website cos I heard that they sometimes forget to send people messages. etoman1: 1 Like |

I shouldn't reply this but I have chosen to not let this slide because of the other people who might be misled by your 'know-it-all' attitude. At the bureau de change at the airport SULAH bureau de change to be precise one Rand was 40 Naira as at 8:30pm on Tuesday 06th September 2016 while one Dollar was also 420. Do the maths again 252k/40 is 6300 rand. Someone already in SA told me a dollar converted for 13 rands that's why I changed to dollars. I made adequate and well informed decisions and I got good value for my money. Don't be RUDE. To anyone reading this thread intending to change money before you decide which currency to change to from Naira visit bureau de change at the airport or your Aboki (whichever is okay with you) and find out how much each currency changes for and you will be able to make the best decision for yourself. geekybabe: |

My advice is Change your Naira to dollars in Nigeria and then come to SA to change the dollar to rand. etoman1: 2 Likes |

Because the Naira isn't stable at the moment it's advisable to change to rands I changed 252k Naira to 600 dollars in Nigeria and I converted this same 600 dollars to 7917 rands after they removed commission here. If I had changed the 252k to rand directly in Nigeria it would have been 6300 rand cos rand was 40 Naira that day. So I saved almost 2k rand by changing to dollars first. etoman1: |

Just arrived in SA on Wednesday. I changed my Naira to dollars then I changed to dollars when I got to the airport here. Naira-Dollar exchange rate was 420 at Sullah bureau de change and when I got here it was 13.6 rands for a Dollar. Long story short. Changing To dollars then coming over here to convert to rands gives you more value for your money. mzjennypher: 2 Likes |

Okay. My colleagues that came in on Saturday came in via Ethiopian airlines.theybhad a stop over in Addis Ababa for 2 hours. They however told me that they had to pay $100 at immigration in Nigeria which they said was impaction fee and they were given receipt for and they said they were told it will be returned to them upon arrival ( I and my friends weren't asked that though) At the Point of Entry here I had a smooth entry, the guy just asked me what I was here for and I told him and he stamped me in. It took less than 2 minutes. In fact my friend wasn't even asked his reason for coming while my other friend was delayed for about an hour while they were trying to confirm our accommodation. So I must say it depends on luck. Just be confident and ensure you have the following A. YELLOW CARD (it's very Key) B. Return ticket C. Proof of accommodation D. Any other documents supporting your reason for entry. Have a safe trip whenever you are coming. know: |

Kenya Airways. 180,400 via wakanow. I bought it on Monday afternoon that's why it was that expensive. Interestingly it was more expensive on Kenya Airways website. Try Wakanow, they will give you good choices and they are very reliable. And no, I am not in Joburg, I am in Pretoria . The weather is quite cool.but not COLD know: |

The best time is now. The visa is usually a 90 day visa so it will well cover your intended travel period. The other upside to applying now is that once you get your Visa you can pay for your ticket and save on ticket fees. All the best Codeblues: |

As at 22/08/2016 it was 28,550 But to be safe just go with 30k. Although they charge an optional extra 2700 for delivery within Lagos state. You will be required to pay once your documents have been reviewed against the checklist. Cheers scholarcute: |
Travel / Re: General South Africa Visa Enquiries by mojohnny(m): 7:18pm On Sep 02, 2016 |
I understand fully. Even the wait all through the weekend not knowing whether the visa was approved or not is a chore in itself. Just in case by Monday you haven't gotten a response you should call me South African high Commission to lodge a complaint. Their number is 01-4612067. Cheers fam ftromy: |

Just got a message around 4:30pm that it's ready for collection. So fingers crossed. Check your phone to see if you have too. I will be there on Monday to pick up my Visa. ftromy: |

2 friends of mine applied on the 20th and got their visas yesterday although technically it a reapplication cos they applied earlier in the month and got denied cos of bank account issues. So my guess is that yours should be here anyday now. Speaking of which have you tried the tracking option cos I heard that sometimes it might be ready and they won't send and sms.just incase you haven't tracked it you can do so at http://www.vfsglobal.com/southafrica/nigeria/track_1.html. Still waiting on mine as well! Good luck ftromy: |

Which date did you apply? I applied on 22nd myself and I am yet to get a response. I even called the embassy on Tuesday and they told me it takes minimum of 6 and maximum of 10 working days to process the application. Although my friends that applied on the 19th got a message yesterday to come and pick up their visas today so I am hopeful I get a response before the end of the day. guttentag: |

So sum1 like me now will be paid 1 million? I am finding dt hard to believe!!! addictiv: Let me help you guys, Agbami gives scholarships to both 100 and 200 level students only assuming you re in engineering for example, you get 100k only. If you are in year one you are paid 100k for five years, thats a cumulative of 500k. If you re in year two , you get 100k for four years that's till you graduate totalling 400k. |
